The application relates to a kind of
cascade low-temperature single-
photon detectors based on torsion
semimetal materials, comprising: substrate,
cascade structure and
electrode;Wherein, the
cascade structure is arranged on the substrate;The
electrode is arranged on the cascade structure;The cascade structure is formed by the alternating stacking of
dielectric layer and Dirac
semimetal material;The outermost layer of the cascade structure from bottom to top and from top to bottom is the
dielectric layer;The
electrode includes a top gate electrode arranged at the top of the cascade structure and a plurality of source / drain
metal contact electrodes arranged on the Dirac
semimetal material.The beneficial effects of the application are: the
Fermi level of the Dirac semimetal material used in the application is adjustable, the internal carrier concentration is controlled by the gate region, and the single-
photon energy can excite to generate a photovoltage
signal.
